Risk for jamming the saw
Where you risk jamming the saw by a falling log end, use one of these methods:
Method 1
Both saw cuts (or only the undercut) are made at a slight angle. Start with the top cut down to about 1/3 of the diameter and then continue with the bottom cut. This allows the log to fall – and the saw is set free.
Method 2
The saw cuts are slightly separated. Start with the top cut down to about 1/3 of the diameter and then continue with the bottom cut. This allows the log to fall – and the saw is set free.
